Listeners are given advice to problems in certain areas of their life, mostly for notorious adolescent problems, and other listeners get to share their experiences and advice and also are allowed to give their point of view. It is similar to problem pages found in teenage girls magazines. They also have done road shows and have weeks specifically dedicated to one subject, often a type of addictive behavior or dependency.
